What is a bond?

• A bond is similar to how a family might take out a mortgage to buy or renovate a home. A bond is how school districts in Kansas pay for major building and facility projects, as the district’s capital budget is intended to cover smaller repairs and predictive and preventative maintenance.

• In Kansas, a school bond must be approved by voters. If approved, the district repays the bond over time using local property taxes.

• A bond is used for long-term investments in buildings and infrastructure. It can’t be used for day-to-day school expenses such as paying teacher salaries or other operational expenses.

On the November 3, 2026, general election ballot, Wichita Public Schools will ask the community to consider $615 million worth of projects. These improvements focus on four main themes: modernizing learning spaces, improving experiences and efficiencies, additional career tech ed spaces and preserving the district’s oldest high schools. While our school does not have projects in the bond proposal, passing a bond frees up capital improvement funds that can be used here.

The 2026 Bond is an opportunity for our community to come together ...

Hello, Gammon Families! As Summer comes to a close, we look forward to the beginning of an amazing school year! As you prepare for the 2026-27 school year, we wanted to share some key information with you. Please refer to the graphics below:

The quickest and most convenient way to enroll your child(ren) is online at https://www.usd259.org/enroll

The district’s official in-person enrollment dates have passed but families are welcome to stop by Gammon any day this week between 9-11:30 or 12-2:30 if they need help navigating the enrollment process.

Don’t forget to complete the Free and Reduced lunch application. It’s relatively quick and could possibly result in some financial support with regards to the cost for your child(ren)’s school lunches. Click below to complete the application https://www.usd259.org/nutrition-services
